'Invincible' just got a major update ahead of season 4 — and it's adding a new cast member
"Invincible" season 5 is officially greenlit. Yes, season 4 still won't be here until next year, but according to Variety, Prime Video has seen enough to renew its animated superhero show for another season — despite the fact that audiences haven't seen an episode of the show since the season 3 finale. But that's not the only "Invincible" news we've learned. In its report on the season 5 renewal, Variety also revealed that Matthew Rhys will be joining the cast in an undisclosed role — but I think I know who he's voicing. When "Invincible" creator Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment announced that season 4 will debut sometime in 2026 via an Instagram post, that wasn't the only thing it revealed. The post also announced that "Thragg has been cast." A post shared by INVINCIBLE (@ A photo posted by on Thragg is a familiar name for fans of the "Invincible" comics. Also known as Lord Thragg or Grand Regent Thragg, he is the ruler of the Viltrumite Empire. Since his casting was announced, he's been expected by fans to serve as the main antagonist for Mark Grayson / Invincible going forward.

It's been expected that a bigger name will be cast to voice Thragg, and with the announcement of Rhys joining season 4 in an undisclosed role, I think we've just learned who Thragg is. To be clear, this is entirely speculation. But an actor of Rhys' caliber would make total sense to voice the villainous emperor.

The titular hero (Steven Yeun) of "Invincible." The titular hero (Steven Yeun) of "Invincible." Amazon Studios We don't know yet who Rhys will voice in "Invincible," but one possibility is the villain Thragg. The ruler of the Viltrum Empire, Thragg is the chief antagonist of the "Invincible" comics and has yet to show up in the series. "Invincible" creator Robert Kirkman previously told Variety that the upcoming Season 4 would feature the screen debut of Grand Regent Thragg, though there's no telling whether or not it will be Rhys voicing the bad guy. "It would certainly be weird if [Thragg] didn't show up in the show," Kirkman said. "I mean, I don't know. It's so tough. Here's what I'll say: He's been cast and he's amazing." While it's good news for "Invincible" that it's received an early Season 5 renewal, it shouldn't be particularly surprising. The show was renewed for its fourth season before Season 3 saw the light of day, and likewise was renewed for Season 3 before Season 2 streamed. It also shouldn't be too surprising considering the show's stellar performance. Season 3 of "Invincible" proved to be Amazon Prime's most watched animation season of all time. The renewal news comes not long after the show's second Emmy nomination, with Steven Yeun nominated for the first time for outstanding character voice-over performance. "Invincible" is based on the comics of the same name. When Mark Grayson, son of the world's most powerful superhero, comes of age his own super powers emerge, and among the challenges he's forced to face is a heritage that's much darker than he ever imagined. Invincible's voice cast includes Sandra Oh, J.K. Simmons, Seth Rogen, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Melise Jow, Zazie Beetz, Grey DeLisle, Clancy Brown, Zachary Quinto, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ben Schwartz, Khary Payton, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Michael Richardson, Jay Pharoah, Mark Hamill, and Ross Marquand.
